Wyo is going to try and slow the pace tonight at Allegiant Stadium and can use its ground game to do so with Harrison Waylee getting the bulk of the carries in Craig Bohl's effective 1970s Nebraska offense. The Cowboys slowed the pace on run-n-gun Colorado State min the Border War last Friday and not sure the Brennan Marion "Go Go" Rebel offense featuring gunslinger frosh QB Jayden Maiava is going to have the same chances to detonate tonight. Play Wyo-UNLV Under

Has any coach in the country done a better job than Barry Odom at UNLV? The Rebs are 7-2 after totaling seven wins the previous three seasons under Marcus Arroyo. Their two losses at Michigan and at a very good Fresno State team. UNLV has started 4-0 at home for the first time since John Robinson's 2000 squad went 6-0 at Sam Boyd Stadium. All-America candidate Jacob De Jesus is the only player in college football to rank in the Top 10 for both punt and kickoff returns. The Rebels sit fifth nationally in third-down conversion rate at 53.2% and have broken school records for 40+ point games. Wyoming is solid but 0-3 on the road.

UNLV is 8-1 ATS on a seven-win season and they just posted 54 points at New Mexico, the sixth game this season they’ve posted 40+ points in a game. It’s an unseen era of UNLV football. Wyoming comes in at 6-3, but all six wins came at home. They’re 0-3 on the road and we’re getting +4.5 at Boise State two weeks ago and lost 32-7. If it was in Wyoming with the cold wind derailing an offense, I wouldn’t play it. But it’s in the comforts of Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas with a balanced offense that averages 424 ypg. UNLV’s incentive to win is that they’re on pace to win the Mountain West Conference. UNLV to cover.
